Can I suggest anyone not familiar with the Hatton Gardens heist please go and read up on it. You won't be disappointed. It's the court case that keeps on giving.
It'll introduce you to the phrase "wombat thick old cunt" if nothing else.
Like, with taxes and shit? Bodycam footage should be free, no question. You've paid for the hardware. You're paying the wages of the cops and the admin staff. Why is this even a debate?
Woah there Hoss. Not so sure about that. We regularly hear about ridiculous crunches and there are plenty of IT workers being treated like crap by management through offshoring, sick leave abuse, holiday abuse or whatever. I recently had to sign a contract with a previous employer that threatened to sack me if I called in ill with a stress or mental related condition. Now that' clearly unenforceable but that's the kind of shit they pull.
I can see why there'd be a tension between someone who can make out alright and someone on the lower rungs of the ladder, but managers are managers and workers are workers and wherever that differential exists, the former will always try and abuse the latter.
Having everybody ignore the rules and not change them is the worst possible outcome.
And yet, it's what we have.
Driving is a complex mix of the statutory, the habitual and the negotiated. Getting a car to obey the first is the easy part. Good luck with the other two. Especially the third. When a driver flashes his lights at you at a junction, what do you do?
The real world is messy and the corner cases kill you. If you're fortunate, you work in an industry where that's metaphor. If you're unlucky you work in an industry where that's a literal truth.
I dunno. There are similarities but I think there's a difference between accepting the status quo and trying to move the debate to a more rational place. Sort of like what Trump is doing but in reverse.
4) Accept that living in a free society with free ideas means that some people are going to get the hump and shoot up the place from time to time. You can't legislate against nutjobs with guns. What you can do, perhaps, is to both win the ideological argument and make it harder for said nutjobs to get guns.
Yeah, and no-one whined about people making their feelings heard either. Take your butthurt back to someone who cares. The headline was inappropriate which is why it's been changed. A lot of people have been murdered. I don't think it's unreasonable to expect an international news site not to be a dick about it.
So now it's rest in piece? Fuck off. Keep it the same as the original headline. Can we judge it then? How many people die before you take it seriously? Dickbags.
Keep your heads down dept? Really? Cunts. 30 people dead and that's the best you can do? 9/11 brought to you by the don't take a flight dept? Do better you fucking corporate scumbag.
Perhaps the biggest argument I've often made for this is the fact that every single time there is a fucking terrorist attack in the West, it turns out that the perpetrator was known to security services.
While I agree with your sentiment, the corollary to that is just how many people are known to the security services? How many people do they try and recruit? We're turning into East Germany in the 1970s except that we have better technology and we're actually voting the fuckers in.
Pfft. I don't think automated software development is coming any time soon. At least not for any business problem of any complexity. I received a specification document from a government department the other day. It specifies that certain values in an XML request are mandatory but not required. Now, I know that probably means the request will fail if those values aren't supplied but that, even if they are supplied, they won't be used. Or that they will be used under certain undocumented circumstances. Maybe.
Good luck getting any automated tool to understand that without going Skynet on our ass.
I agree to an extent, but at this point, we'd just be sending out a 'few heroic lives' to do die lonely, pointless deaths that tell us nothing about anything. This isn't traversing the seas to get to the new world, this is going to a place where we know we'll die. Of course, we all die, but any Mars mission is suicide right now. It's no more and no less glamorous than throwing yourself off a train bridge to find out more about gravity..
Sure, if there's a reasonable chance of success, then by all means load a few heroes into the great sky catapult and see where the cards fall, but at the moment the only real people in the market are the proven charlatans of Mars One. That says everything to me.
Quick correction, it was The Lancet (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lancet) rather than the BMJ that published Wakefield's original story. The BMJ published articles undermining those findings. Other than that, you're dead on. Wakefield is a dick of the highest order. Making up results for profit and almost single handedly creating the whole vaccination paranoia bullshit. Prick.
No. Adequate publicly available transport reduces drunk driving arrests in San Francisco dramatically. There. Fixed your headline. No need to thank me.
Seriously? You shouldn't risk being detained if you're so delusional that you're a danger to either yourself or others? Have you seen the state of someone when they're sectioned? It's not something that happens on a whim y'know.

More like the the Beijing State Opera, I'd guess...

Anyone familiar with cockney rhyming slang shoudn't be too surprised when Arris products contain an unexpectedly slack backdoor...

Nice to get marked as troll for calling out the levity with which this got initially treated by the ballbags who run this site.

Hey! We're not just low skill users on Stack Overflow. Some of us are lazy too!
And Japanes Airlines 123. That happened 7 years after the original tailstrike.

Or as low as 10% in published studies. The storied, btw, seem to have gotten significantly worse over the last few weeks. What's going on?

No, but the proposal does include costings for a series of giants to be located at each turn.
Cue hordes of astroturfing Russian trolls in 5.. 4.. 3.. 2.. 1...
Literally no-one on this thread will be who they claim to be. Not even me.
